abstract: Examinations are measurement tools designed to assess learners’
achievement of course learning outcomes. Past studies have shown that
factors such as motivation and study time play a part in enhancing learner
achievement in assessment. The objective of this exploratory study is to
develop a Regression Model that will be used to identify the possible
relationship between the learners’ study time with their academic achievement.
An online questionnaire survey was administered to 98 respondents of year 1
distance learners of the Principle of Management course in the January 2021
semester at Open University Malaysia. The data on the self-report of study time
by the learners for the two variables were analysed. A regression analysis via
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) analysis tool was performed to
study the relationship between the study time (for completing the assignment
and preparing for the final examination) and academic achievement. The
findings of this study suggest that a regression model can significantly predict
academic achievement. However, based on this model, only the study time
allocated for completing the assignment appears to be significantly correlated
to the course assessment achievement. It is hoped that the findings gathered
will lay the foundation for future research that take into consideration other
relevant factors associated with study time and academic achievement.
